“Natalie was great! There aren't enough stars to rate what a good job she did dog & house sitting for us. We were impressed from the very beginning with her prompt response to our request. At our first meeting to meet us and our dog she came prepared to work with her supply pouch including dog treats. While we were gone, she was super responsive sending us multiple pictures daily and keeping us informed when she came and went. We felt confident our dog and our home were in good hands. We will definitely call on Natalie again!”
“Selena took great care of our dogs!! She was great at communicating, the dogs were very happy and the house was tidy when we got back :) we would definitely have Selena watch our dogs again”
“Abigail was absolutely fantastic watching our dog Sadie! She was communicative, gentle, kind, and treated our pup with the same love we do. Abigail sent regular updates and photos, which let us know Sadie was in great hands and loving life! We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone needing a sitter and will definitely be reaching out for any future needs!”
About: Grew up taking care of a variety of pets (dogs, cats, and more) for family and friends. Successfully trained each one to read and write ;) Currently working from home with loads of flexibility to schedule time for pups. I love to take dogs on walks, runs, or hikes throughout the day. I try to match the energy of any fury friend. My love and appreciation for animals and pets has really grown through life experiences. Thinking of them first is a fine habit to have. Proper planning and anticipation goes a long way. I got incredibly lucky with my current dog, Dos, who is so friendly and loves new friends to play and hike with.
“Hannah did a great job taking care of our Rottie and home while we were gone for a week. We came home to a clean home and a happy dog. She gives regular updates while we’re away. We highly recommend her!”
“Ayalene was great! I have a high energy Australian shepherd that has some separation anxiety and can be reactive on leash. She handled everything with ease and followed all my instructions! My dog and cats were super happy, the house was clean when returning, and it felt great knowing my pets and house were safe! Thank you Ayalene for all your help! I would absolutely recommend her and book her again”
“Michelle took good care of our three dogs while we were away. We were happy that they could be comfortable in their own home and she kept the place clean. Did a meet and greet beforehand and she was always on time. Michelle provided updates and sent pictures daily.”
“From what we could see, Quashara was great with our dogs! We appreciated her communication and the great care she put into looking after our two doggos and our home. She is thoughtful and responsive.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with lots of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve previously walked dogs through Rover, cared for dogs in my own home, and grown up around family pets. I also raised my own cat from a kitten, which taught me just how much love and attention our furry friends need <3 🩷 PLEASE read. I have a very cute and cozy home, however, it is small. Therefore, in terms of house sitting, I can only accommodate SMALL dogs or medium (if you feel comfortable with your pup staying in a small home). The smaller the house, the more the love though 🩷 I’m doing pet care full time, so I can dedicate my time and attention to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Whether we’re going on walks, spending time playing, or just enjoying some cuddles, I’ll ensure every pet in my care to feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾💕 I’m doing pet care full-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I’m able to plan my day around their routines, if that means walks, drop ins, feeding, or keeping them company. I’ll ensure your pets get the attention they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 Please note (it’s listed in my bio) that my home is small! I would love to care for your creature in my home, but can only accommodate small dogs. I have a cozy backyard for dogs to play and enjoy some outdoor time, along with a walkable neighborhood and Gabriel Park and Metzger Park nearby for walks and exploring! I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and tailor our time together to their personality and needs.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals on dairy farms and my dad's veterinarian practice. I have always had cats and dogs and sometimes a turtle. I have been taking care of friend's and family pets as well as a horse occasionally. I am currently between positions as a professional educator and am looking to fill my time and make some extra money. I am usually available all days. We have a fenced yard and 2 65 pound rescue mutts and 1 rescue calico cat. I only walk dogs on fixed leashes and will inspect your home and clean up any potential accidents.
About: I have owned 2 dogs in my adult life. 1 was a chihuahua i had for 18 years. And 1 is the foster fail i have now. Having a dog for 18 years i was able to go through all life stages. I know how to deal with the puppy stage, the finally trained stage and the hardest one the senior stage. After losing my baby after about a year I was lonely but did not want to commit so I decided to foster. Having the patience and guidance to help a little orphan dog go through the transition of that scary time just made me attached and I kept him. I feel like going through all these stages has me ready for anything. I work from home so my dog Piggy and I go on about 4/5 walks a day. Some are short but 2 are usually over 2 miles. Pigs a Lil dude (pug/chihuahua mix) and hes the sweetest friendliest dude you will ever meet. Being a pet owner i understand how hard it is to let someone into your home. I totally get that is your safe space and to be honest i dont care about your home! I only care about your dog and giving them the care they need....Pig and I dont mind sharing our environment. Pig doesnt not have a mean bone in his body. Pig eats twice a day and goes out 4/5 times a day for walks and potty breaks. That is his routine but he doesnt mind bending to a different one if your dog has a strict routine. If your dog is not friendly I can come to your house and stay in that environment, or just come for walks. You can let me know your routine and I can stick to that. Pig and I play fetch, we go to the dog park we love walks. We can do all with your dog if allowed. I will treat your dog like its my own. I wont let anyone or anything hurt him/her and give them so much love.
“Billi was very responsive and easy to work with. He really kept the well-being of our three cats in mind while petsitting them. He left our house at least as tidy as we left it, which is very much appreciated. We look forward to having him house/petsit again soon.”
“Kyle is great. He followed through on our scheduling coordination. He sent lots of pictures while he was with our animals. Very kind and considerate. I’ll be using him again and soon too!!”
“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”
“Stephanie is such and absolutely amazing Rover!!!!. She stayed with our 2 cats, 1 dog, rabbit and chickens and all the animals were so well cared for while we went to California for our daughters wedding. House was spotless, animals absolutely loved Stephanie, and truly a she is a gracious, caring, knowldgeable and just wonderful person. She even left us a surprise 4 pack of our absolute favorite beers and a card of congrats when we returned home. We will love to have her here again soon!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Chloe! Leaving our two pups for two weeks while we were in Europe was nerve-wracking, especially since our one dog has pancreatitis. But Chloe made the entire experience stress-free. Her communication was fantastic. She sent regular updates with pictures and videos, so we always knew our furry friends were happy and well cared for. Things got even better when Chloe calmly handled a flare-up of our pup's pancreatitis. She administered the medication with ease, keeping us informed throughout the process. When we finally got home, we were greeted by two ecstatic and healthy pups. It was clear they had been showered with love and attention in our absence. Chloe is a true dog lover and a fantastic pet sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone needing someone reliable, caring, and capable of handling unexpected situations with their pets!”
“Lena picked up a last minute house sitting request. She was easy to communicate with and took special care to support my pup in her post surgery recovery. Lena sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. My pup was happy and well cared for upon my return home and Lena also left the house in great shape. I highly recommend Lena for your pet care needs!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Gaston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,307 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gaston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Gaston walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Gaston maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gaston choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gaston. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
